ASCENSION: Pictures That Speak, Words That Paint: Korean Paintings and the Language Within

0/5 ( ratings)

In this book, a fortuitous meeting on the day after Christmas in 2007 leads to a synergistic collaboration between an artist and a humanities expert. Born from a serendipitous encounter, the pages unfold as a testament to the enduring alliance between these two wandering souls. The artist, a perpetual seeker, captures extraordinary moments on the winding roads of existence, while the anthropologist navigates diverse human cultures with a lens of cultural relativism. Despite apparent disparities, both share the objective of understanding the enigmatic depths of our world. The collaborative opus, set in Korea, merges sensory and imaginal revelations with conceptual and linguistic articulations. Titled ' Pictures That Speak, Words That Paint,' it becomes a unique synthesis, reflecting a rich dialogue between the palpable and the abstract. This book celebrates the timeless allure of wanderers—artists who, through images and words, seek to unveil the unrevealed reality beyond its revelation, transcending heterogeneity and boundaries.Table of Contents
